Tom Brady (back) said he "absolutely" expects to play in the second preseason game.

Brady was held out of the preseason opener with a sore back, but the quarterback says he is fine. "I am doing really well," Brady said. "You just always have little things that you’re working through. That is part of football season, but I feel really good." If he suits up on Thursday night, Brady will not see more than a handful of snaps. Aug 14 - 9:13 AM

Tom Brady sat out Thursday's preseason opener against the Redskins with a sore back.

It's debatable whether Brady would have played anyway, though any injury to the best quarterback on the planet, no matter how minor, is still worth mentioning. Brady has seen fewer practice reps than normal while working through his injury, though he reportedly "ramped up" his activity at Wednesday's session. There's no concern over Brady's status for Week 1 against the Texans. Aug 10 - 2:14 PM

It is similar to what the team did with Rob Gronkowski's contract last season. Owed just $14 million in base salary each of the next two year, Brady is making way less than he would on the open market. Schefter reports these incentives will get him closer to the market rate. The future Hall of Famer turned 41 last week. Aug 9 - 12:29 PM

Brady was linked to retirement rumors and made some waves for his comments about playing for Bill Belichick this offseason. His training camp status wasn't really in doubt after Brady attended mandatory minicamp. Rob Gronkowski is also expected to report for the start of camp next week. Jul 20 - 6:02 PM

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Patriots owner Robert Kraft will meet with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady after the season to "hash out their issues."

Belichick is fully expected to be back, but this confirms Kraft plans to have a "clear the air" meeting in the offseason. The Patriots have an unresolved conflict with Brady's trainer and are dealing with some backlash from Belichick for the Jimmy Garoppolo trade. Despite rumors it could be Belichick's last year, the Patriots' power structure is going to remain in place in 2018.
